Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 24
या त्वं मदशयं ज्ञात्वा प्राप्तेह वरवर्णिनि । त्वया विरहितः शून्यं मन्योस्मिन्भुवनत्रये
yā tvaṃ madaśayaṃ jñātvā prāpteha varavarṇini | tvayā virahitaḥ śūnyaṃ manyosminbhuvanatraye
“Since you, O fair-complexioned lady, have understood my heart and have come here, without you I would deem this entire triple world to be empty.”
Asura in Umā-form (addressing Śiva, within the narrative; deduced from immediate context)
Scene: Śaṅkara addresses a fair-complexioned lady with tender intensity, declaring the three worlds empty without her; the moment is intimate, foregrounding eyes, gesture, and the charged stillness of reunion.
